Chapter 618

Author: Hauling Treasures
Night fell, but the lights in the CEO’s office at RC Corporation remained bright.

Justin was finalizing the international project negotiations with Sam over a video call.

“Everything looks good so far, but the last proposal needs another round of calculations. How long will it take to get the accurate results?”

“Mr. Yates, I’ll have the data ready for you in an hour.”

“Alright.”

Justin removed his blue-light glasses and rubbed his tired eyes. All that was left was to wait for Sam’s final set of data before he could complete the final calculations.

Just then, a sharp notification tone rang from his phone, breaking the silence.

Was it Haley?

Chase and Alex had already called him after getting home. That only left one possibility—Haley had messaged him. Maybe she was telling him not to stay up too late, to get some rest.

Smiling, he picked up his phone and unlocked it.

The moment he saw the screen, his anticipation vanished, replaced by disappointment.

    Justin’s gaze dropped to the man’s outstretched hand. He didn’t move to shake it. Instead, his expression remained cold and distant as he said flatly, “Move.” The man’s lackey immediately bristled. “Our boss is giving you respect by offering a handshake, and you’re acting all high and mighty? Who the hell do you think you are?” He lunged forward, ready to throw a punch and teach Justin a lesson. But before he could get close, William stepped in, blocking his path with a single step. If the other side dared to make a move, he wouldn’t hesitate to strike back. Behind Justin, the project leader clutched the documents tightly and instinctively shrank behind him. They had only come with three people—Justin, William, and himself—while the opposing team had over a dozen men. If a fight broke out, they would be at a clear disadvantage. Even if security intervened in time, RC Corporation would still end up as the humiliated party in front of all these competitors. The

    The New Alliance CEO smirked to himself, already picturing the moment he would completely humiliate Justin in front of everyone. Just the thought of it sent a thrill through him. He couldn’t control his excitement, and before he knew it, he let out a triumphant chuckle. Right as he passed Justin in the aisle on his way to the stage, he caught his cold, piercing gaze. Justin lifted his eyes ever so slightly, throwing him a look of icy disdain. The presentation began. The New Alliance CEO spoke with passion, practically spitting as he delivered his speech, waving his hands dramatically. His proposal was polished, modern, and innovative—perfectly aligned with the latest industry trends. The officials seated in the front row nodded occasionally, their expressions showing clear approval. No one had expected such a new company to be this strong. In just six months, New Alliance had risen to the top—its rapid success nothing short of remarkable. Yet, some officials exc

    If RC Corporation repeated New Alliance Corporation’s stolen proposal, they would be labeled as copycats in an instant. By tomorrow, news of their "plagiarism" would spread across the entire industry, making them a laughingstock among top corporations. The thought alone thrilled New Alliance’s CEO. “Mr. Yates, I… I—” The project team leader stammered, panic-stricken. “William,” Justin said calmly, “give me the briefcase.” “Ah—yes!” Under countless watchful eyes, Justin walked onto the stage. He inserted the USB drive into the console, then pulled out a file from the briefcase and opened it. Lifting his gaze, he met the New Alliance CEO’s smug, taunting stare. Justin’s eyes darkened. “I see… so it’s him,” he muttered. He mentally filed away the man’s face and the company’s name. Suddenly, Haley’s words echoed in his mind. She had warned him about a shell company that had popped up just six months ago. A brief flicker of realization crossed his f

    Justin had his suspicions, but without solid proof, he couldn’t make any direct accusations. “The resort…” The project team leader was initially relieved, but then it hit him—wasn’t this just a polite way of saying they were being confined and monitored? Justin shot him a cold glance. “Unless… you’re the one who leaked the proposal?” The leader’s face turned pale. He shook his head frantically, eager to prove his loyalty. “I swear, Mr. Yates, it wasn’t me! You have my word. I’ll keep an eye on everyone at the resort and make sure no one leaves. You’ll have my full cooperation in your investigation.” “Remember, act like nothing happened today. Keep your mouth shut. No leaks.” “Understood, Mr. Yates. You can count on me.” Justin still trusted him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought him to the competition today. Regardless of whether the proposal had been leaked or not, the real plan he presented had been the one he and Sam had worked on from the start. As for the pr

    In Merika State, the two of them lay close together on the hotel bed. As their passion grew, Justin Yates’s husky voice, filled with allure, murmured, “Em, how about having a child with me?”Caught up in the moment, Emily Yates replied without thinking. It wasn’t until they were lying together afterward that she remembered what he had said.“A child?” she repeated, a trace of intimacy lingering in her eyes.The look stirred Justin’s desire again. She was a constant temptation to him. Pushing those thoughts aside, he pulled out a ring and slipped it onto her left hand.“Are you proposing to me?” she asked.“Yes.”“Can I finally have your child now?” Justin asked, smiling. His eyes were warm, but there was no love in them, as if he were gazing past her, waiting for someone else’s answer.“I’ll give you plenty,” she replied, momentarily surprised. Proposing in bed wasn’t exactly romantic or formal, but she didn’t mind. She had waited three years for this moment, and it was worth it

    Tears had fallen without her noticing, smudging the fresh makeup around her eyes. Emily glanced down at the diamond ring on her left hand, a sense of foreboding spreading through her. The sudden appearance of this woman might shatter the happiness she had been waiting for. She couldn’t just stand here. She had to know who this woman was. After a moment to gather herself, she headed back to the hotel.The plane flew from Merika State back to Haven State. At Lichfield Hospital, Emily stood at the door of a hospital room, arms crossed, trying to see inside through the window. Justin’s friend, Zac White, the director of Lichfield Hospital, along with other doctors, were examining the restless woman on the hospital bed. Two female nurses held her steady as they conducted their checks.On the plane, her face had already been cleaned, and she had been given fresh clothes.“Emma Xander? Hasn’t she... disappeared for the past four years?” Zac was shocked. Where had Justin found her?

    In the hospital’s back garden, the spring night was still a bit chilly, and a cold wind stirred, adding a bite to the air. The flick of a lighter sounded, and two glowing points of light appeared as smoke drifted, blurring their vision.“So, Emma Xander’s back. What are you going to do?” Zac asked, breaking the silence. He didn’t mention Emily, but they both knew what he meant.One woman was the college sweetheart, the first love who had once saved Justin’s life. The other was the girlfriend who had been with him for three years, sharing his most intimate moments, and now, his fiancée.After a long pause, Justin replied, his voice cold and detached. “She was just a stand-in. She could never compare to Emma.”He went on, his tone utterly indifferent, as if he hadn’t been the one to propose to Emily in Merika State. “The role of Mrs. Yates will never be hers. It can only belong to Emma.”In a way, Emily had saved him the trouble of saying it himself when she had brought up their mar

    Emily found the remote to turn on the lights, then looked for something handy to snuff out each candle one by one. Afterward, she retrieved her nightgown from the closet and headed for a shower. As she walked into the bathroom, she noticed the ring still on her left hand. She slipped it off and tossed it into the corner of her jewelry box. When she returned to the bedroom, she brushed all the rose petals off the bed and settled under the covers, pulling them over her head.She instinctively lay on the left side of the bed, where she was used to sleeping. Justin would always hold her close, gradually shifting over to the left with her until they were practically glued together. Now, the right side of the bed was glaringly empty. To fill the space, she scooted to the center, tossing the extra pillow onto the floor, finally feeling comfortable.She turned off the lights and went to sleep.Two days passed without any word from Justin. He was likely at the hospital with Emma or busy wi

    “It’s already afternoon, and you haven’t eaten yet. If word gets out, people might start saying RC Corporation mistreats its employees.” Emma glanced at the time. “The cafeteria should still have food. Go grab something to eat.” “I’m fine. Skipping one meal won’t hurt. Besides, everyone else is on break. Someone has to stay in the office and keep watch.” “I’ll keep watch for you. Just go eat—don’t make me worry,” Emma coaxed. Then, with a teasing lilt in her voice, she added, “You don’t want to be too tired to… perform, do you?” Her words carried a double meaning.“You know what I mean, don’t you?”“I do!” Tom blurted out. He understood perfectly. She was telling him to conserve his energy—for her. “Good. Now go. And make sure you eat well—you’ll need your strength.”“I can’t. I have to stay here. The confidential files are in this office. I can’t leave them unattended.” “What’s there to worry about when I’m here watching them?” Emma suddenly became more assertiv

    “You already know I’m focusing on family now. I just came by to pack up some personal items,” Emma explained smoothly. “These are some unused office supplies. I figured you might need them, so I thought I’d bring them over.” “Thank you.” The company provided office supplies, of course. But the fact that she had thought of him and even gone out of her way to see him, filled Tom with unexpected joy.“Are we really going to have this whole conversation at the door?” she teased. “Oh right! I’m sorry, that was rude of me. Please, come in.” Tom quickly stepped aside to let her in, reaching out to take the box from her hands. As he lowered his gaze, his eyes naturally landed on her hands. “Why are you wearing gloves in this heat?” Emma paused for half a second before smoothly replying, “They’re the latest fashion. Limited edition. I bought them overseas and had them shipped here.” Tom glanced at the logo on the gloves. Even though he wasn’t into luxury brands, he reco

    Emma’s fingerprints and access permissions hadn’t been revoked. Inside the office, she methodically packed her belongings into cardboard boxes. She didn’t even glance at the useless files and materials. She just left them behind without a second thought. One box contained her personal items, while the other held office supplies that were still new and usable, including USB drives and other accessories. Once she was nearly finished, she was about to step out for a moment when someone knocked and entered. “Miss Xander.” The voice belonged to a former subordinate who used to flatter her. “It’s really you? I just got back from a work trip and heard that you came in today… and that you brought your twin sons to see the CEO.” The woman’s tone turned playful. “Or should I be calling you Mrs. Yates now?” Twin sons? Emily gave birth to twins for Justin? And they even came to the company? Emma clenched her fists tightly, rage boiling inside her. But on the surface,

    Justin waited outside for a little while longer before Chase and Alex finally arrived. “Uncle Justin, why are you waiting at the front entrance? Were you just as excited to see me as I was to see you?” Alex beamed, his excitement bubbling over. This time, meeting Justin felt completely different. This wasn’t just some uncle—this was his father by blood. “Hi, Chase and Alex,” Justin greeted, his tone much calmer. He had already known about their relationship, so his emotions weren’t as turbulent as Alex’s. “Hello, Uncle Justin,” Chase greeted coolly. “Mm.” Alex wasted no time launching himself into Justin’s arms. Justin caught him effortlessly, bouncing him slightly. He felt heavier than before. Glancing down at Chase, then at his own arms, Justin realized the problem. He could only carry one of them. Before he could figure out what to do, Chase had already taken the initiative and walked into the building alone. “Uncle Justin, don’t take it personally.
